2023 Kia Niro HEV ANYAUTO REVIEW

Niro comes as a hybrid or EV, as an S or a GT-Line, but unlike the hapless emperor of the same name, does not fiddle while you burn.

Clever old Kia packaged the pluck out of this bijou box. The 75 grand GT-Line EV costs as much as a Tesla Model Y, making even the hardest core of the Kia crowd consider a travelling in a Tesla.
Meanwhile, the entry level Niro S is far better value, and is my pick of the Niro range.
For 44 grand and some change ($49,435 drive away), you get a nicely designed, high-riding hatchback. Rear space is capacious, and the driver is spoiled by LCD screens, cupholders and USB sockets. There are driver aids, and a plethora safety gizmos. Get the specification sheet HERE: All-new Kia Niro Specification Sheet
It is a comfortable little conveyance, and for a change, the promised economy is not too far off the claim of 4.0L/100k.
GT-line has nicer additions, like a dial for gears, and twin 10.25” screens.
The hybrids drive steadily but leisurely, with a 0-100kph in excess of 10 seconds. Steering is nicely weighted, brakes feel progressive, and the ride is firm yet compliant.
